My point with the Leaf, despite its limits, is that you can buy one rather cheaply and could comply with a statute if it went effect in 2021. I would think, that by 2035 (15 years in the future), even basic EV's would have advanced significantly in range, cost and usefulness.
If the average transaction price of a car is about $38,000 today, then a Bolt, or Model 3, would be in the reach of many consumers if they wanted an EV today with reasonable range. And lets remember, that the mandate is ZERO emissions. It does not say that Battery Electrics are the only way to do it. It could be Hydrogen that eventually wins out. Perhaps the Europeans have nudged in a better direction, having the prime crowded cities start restricting ICE emmissions.. whether it be by taxation / fees/ tolls or what ever economic incentive would cause people to change their habits. If I had to drive into downtown LA, or NYC, or Miami or wherever, and I had to pay an extra $10/day to do so in an ICE, or $5/day for a hybrid or $0/day in an EV, that might spark the needed change for a majority. Having/owning. operating or even having access to a car is not a protected right in America. Automakers would have never embraced many advancements we take for granted today without government intervention: Seatbelts, Airbags, Crash safety and Auto emissions are just the obvious ones. |
